Hello Everyone

It had been a busy morning for me, what time I have had awake so far. The new doses of my bipolar meds sure make me sleep late. That's a good thing because before those new meds and a change in dosages, I was up nearly every night at 1 or 2 am. My mood feels pretty darned good today so far. I'm not smoking so I believe that is something to feel real good about. So I did it, I have day 3 won and am now onto day 4. When I'm good and settled in with my quit, I think I'll quit counting for a while and just enjoy the benefits of being a non smoker. Yesterday I wrote that I am not going to avoid my back porch, an old trigger but doesn't seem to bother me now. I'm not allowing old nicodemon to keep me away from an area I so love. As a centerpiece on my table outdoors is a water bottle loaded with all the cigarettes I drown when I quit. It's so ugly, but necessary and it can stay there as long as I need it to. Any who, I'm just rambling on so I'm going to post this and get reading other blogs. I hope everyone is enjoying a good smoke free day.

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. I am a 62 year old suffering with moderate COPD. I have relapsed several times from my quit, but I will keep trying till I get it right! "Your mind controls your quit but you control your mind. Don't let your emotions spoil your quit!" Don't allow a stumble to be the end of the journey. The difference between a good day and a bad day is attitude!
